IBM IoT on Blockchain

Reimagine and improve the supply chain

IBM® IoT on Blockchain enables IoT devices to send data to a private blockchain ledger shared by your business network. The secure blockchain enables peers to record transactions in a decentralized data log maintained on a network of computers. With the IoT registry, they can access real-time device data to monitor the status and progress of products or components in the supply chain. The data provided by the blockchain can ensure faster resolution of breached contracts, stronger partner relationships, and greater transparency and efficiency.

Share IoT data with blockchain networks

Share device data such as temperature, position and shipping status as products move through the distributed system. Real-time information can ensure that parties take appropriate action as required.

Leverage the "Blockchain for Things"

The "Blockchain for Things" links real world IoT, Asset, and Environment insights for trusted verification and compliance. Increase visibility, control, and business process automation.

Create a secure, trusted network

Benefit from a tamper-resistant record of all transactions. Leverage trusted IoT information to help ensure partner cooperation and to meet compliance requirements.

Track transaction history

Use IoT and blockchain as a shared ledger to maintain an accurate and indelible history of your products and components.

Innovate with IBM

Take advantage of IBM IoT Lab Services, which offers customized service engagements to help you experiment and innovate with the Watson IoT platform and blockchain technologies.

Security and privacy in the cloud

IBM enables companies to scale and adapt quickly to changing business needs without compromising security, privacy or risk levels when using IBM cloud offerings.

“Blockchain is a technology that consists of a ledger, a consensus algorithm, and a means of performing transactions on that ledger. Ultimately, blockchain can enable companies to build trust, reduce costs and accelerate transactions.”
